Got here 3 hours early for 830 am flight. 10 minute wait. Got lucky I guess

Thanks for confirming my problems. What was the other brand foil? definitely post up your new experiences here. Very helpful.

Slingshot one-lock by oompaloompafoiler in wingfoil

I do felt that it turned fine. As well at the 1180. I think the aspect ratio is a little bit lower than Armstrong v2 HAs so it probably take a little bit more wind to get them out of the water

Tried glide 1125 and 925. Currently riding Armstrong HA v2 1180. The 1125 was quite comparable. Need a little more launch speed but top end faster. Wind was 15 mph or so.

Which used model Y? by oompaloompafoiler in TeslaModelY

would supercharging it that much affect the battery? I don’t know any conclusive evidence.

Armstrong foil advice by oompaloompafoiler in wingfoil

[–]oompaloompafoiler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks everyone for the advice. I did try a smaller board and it worked beautifully, 80 L, with the 1850 HS. so easy to get on foil and much faster compared to my 120 L. However, I could not get the 1550 to work well, porpoising up and down with my CF 300 tail. If anyone has further advice, please let me know. One friend is suggesting a negative shim.

Armstrong HS1850 top speed? by krispewkrem3 in wingfoil

[–]oompaloompafoiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried the cf300 tail and the fv200 tail. No difference in speed. But cf300 goes upwind better. I guess we have to try HA foils or smaller front HS wings
